Summer family vacations are the best summer memories for children.Traveling abroad and going to theme parks are great, but there is also the option of going outdoors.Playing in the rich natural environment and interacting with living things is the best way to learn.However, summer camping can be a bit difficult if you have children with you.There are many things that make children uncomfortable, such as heat, weather changes, and insects.
Therefore, we would like to recommend glamping, which even families who are not used to the outdoors can enjoy with peace of mind.With air-conditioned glamping facilities, you don't have to worry about heatstroke or dehydration.There is also a wealth of family-friendly activities and summer experience content.This time, we will compare summer camping and glamping, information on summer glamping events and activities, and introduce glamping facilities in Kanto, Tokai, Kansai, and China.

Many families plan to go outdoors during summer vacation because they want to teach their children the wonders of nature.
If you are traveling with children, you may be wondering whether to go camping or glamping.Which one is best for summer family outdoor activities?
Japan's hot and humid summer.Go outdoors when it's hot!Even if you go camping, unless you are in a very cool area such as a mountain or plateau, you will be exposed to harsh direct sunlight.When camping, you have to do everything by yourself, such as shopping for ingredients, transporting equipment, setting up tents, cooking, cleaning up, and tearing down.If you don't drink enough water and take breaks, you can get heatstroke...so you need to be careful about your physical condition so you don't ruin your camping trip.
Modern tents are highly functional and are made of waterproof fabric, which has poor ventilation and prevents heat from escaping.Also, even if you are outdoors, the temperature may not drop that much on a tropical midsummer night.If your family sleeps in a tent that is exposed to direct sunlight during the day and gets hot, you will end up spending the night feeling uncomfortable.It is best to be prepared for lack of sleep if you do not take proper precautions against the heat.
Summer is the season when insects that suck human blood, such as mosquitoes, gnats, and horseflies, are active.In the mountains and forests, the number and power of insects increases.Furthermore, you may encounter dangerous insects that you would not encounter in residential areas, such as wasps and centipedes.Also, if you were to be stung by a bee or centipede, the pain and shock would not only make you no longer able to enjoy your camping experience, but could even send you rushing to the hospital.
The appeal of glamping is that you can enjoy the outdoors without bringing anything.However, when going glamping in the winter, you need to take precautions against the cold, such as cold-weather gear and items, and it can be quite a bit of luggage for a family.On the other hand, for summer glamping, you can wear light clothing.Other than activities, you'll spend most of your time in air-conditioned facilities, so a casual style is fine.All activity and BBQ equipment is provided, so all you need to bring is a change of clothing.
Glamping is different from camping in that you leave all the preparation and cleanup to us.Once you arrive at the facility, you can immediately head out for activities or walks.Dinner started as soon as we got back.Once you're done, you can use it to watch the stars or set off fireworks without wasting any time.You will have plenty of time to spend with your children and create fun memories.
Glamping facilities are equipped with all the comforts of a hotel.The cottages and large tents, as well as other facilities, are properly air-conditioned, so you won't feel the heat and don't have to worry about heat stroke or dehydration.In addition, although the facility has an open design, its rock-solid structure protects it from sudden changes in weather, such as heavy rain and strong winds, which are common in the summer.No outdoor skills or knowledge are required, and you can enjoy your stay with peace of mind, even with children or babies.
Glamping facilities offer events and content according to the season.Especially in the summer, when there are many families, there are many events for children.There are lots of exciting activities for children, such as marine activities, river play, and harvest experiences.Most of the things can be done on-site or nearby, so getting around is easy.
Introducing summer glamping events and activities that children will enjoy.
You'll never run out of fun at a seaside glamping facility.You can enjoy swimming in the sea and playing in the sand on the beach.We also recommend trying out marine sports.Some glamping facilities offer free rentals of SUPs, sea kayaks, banana boats, etc.There are also places where you can enjoy cruising and boat fishing in a bit of luxury.
If your glamping facility is located along a mountain or mountain stream, why not cool off by playing in the river?Step into the cold, clear water and observe and explore the creatures that live there.This is an opportunity to learn about the ecology of living things while playing.It may also be useful for summer vacation assignments and picture diaries.Depending on the facility, you may be able to fish for trout or wild trout.
One of the most popular summer activities for children is ``catching bugs''.Glamping facilities in the mountains are a treasure trove of insects and creatures.Let's go looking for insects that can't be found in the city, such as beetles and stag beetles.Mom and Dad can also take a break in the cool shade of a tree.Forest bathing should be refreshing.
In addition to outdoor activities, there is also a glamping facility with plenty of activities for summer vacation.Some workshops offer programs for children, such as a woodworking experience where you can make wooden clocks and chopsticks, and a papermaking experience where you can make flower postcards and fans.You can enjoy a handmade experience under the guidance of a teacher.The completed work is perfect for summer crafts.
From here, we will introduce glamping facilities that are perfect for a family-friendly summer vacation trip.
``Fujino Kira Fuji Gotemba'' is a glamping facility that is popular for its luxurious location overlooking Mt. Fuji.There are plenty of activities to do at Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi.Experiences that will satisfy children's adventurous spirit are available (for elementary school students and older), such as forest walks at the foot of Mt. Fuji and explorations of caves and trees (with a dedicated professional guide).At Lake Ashi, you can try a variety of activities such as kayaking and SUP.There are also safari parks and amusement parks in the surrounding area, making it the perfect glamping experience for families.
``Grandome Kyoto Amanohashidate'' is located in Kyoto's Tango area, which is the back parlor of Kyoto.The large dome tent is sturdy, spacious, and air conditioned, so you won't feel the heat in midsummer.You can enjoy swimming and playing in the sand at the nearby Komatsuhama Beach, and you can enjoy rainbow trout fishing and playing in the river at the Seyagawa River, which flows nearby.The back faces the mountains, making it the perfect location for hunting bugs such as beetles and stag beetles.
``Farm Glamping Kyoto Amanohashidate'', which was born in Amanohashidate, Miyazu, a land rich in food, is a glamping facility with the theme of food education.We offer a variety of hands-on content in hopes of helping children grow up healthy.There are lots of fun contents such as private cruising, fishing, marine activities such as sea kayaking, hands-on activities such as feeding rabbits, harvesting experience at a dedicated farm, BBQ with local ingredients, and food education activities such as making potato chips and pizza!
When children are growing up, we want them to experience the wonders of nature.The simplest way is outdoors.However, for moms and dads who are not confident in their outdoor skills and knowledge, we recommend glamping, also known as "empty-handed camping."Below, we have summarized the reasons why summer vacation is perfect for families and the appeal of summer glamping.
・Summer camping has a surprisingly high risk of heatstroke and dehydration due to the scorching sun, accidents due to sudden changes in weather, and damage from insects, so it is dangerous to go with children without outdoor skills.
・Summer glamping has all the comfortable facilities of a hotel, so you don't have to worry about heat stroke or dehydration.Also, you only need to wear light clothing, so you can bring as little luggage as possible.
・With glamping, the staff will support you with all the activities, so you don't have to worry even if you are new to the outdoors.
・Glamping requires no preparation or cleanup, so you can have plenty of time to play with your children.
・If you are going on a glamping trip as part of your family's summer vacation, you will want to choose a glamping facility that offers plenty of summer-only experience content, such as swimming in the sea, marine sports, playing in the river, catching bugs, and crafting.
